Rare August rain shower gives Prince George a needed soak
This has been one of the warmest, driest Augusts Prince George has ever had and while the hot weather we’ve been having made it uncomfortable at times to be indoors in places without air conditioning, it’s been a blessing for anyone taking part in outdoor events. There were no rain delays at the Canadian Native Fastball Championships on the B.C. Day long weekend, the B.C.
There’s still a risk of thunderstorms until about 5 p.m. this afternoon with today’s high expected to hit 24 C, but sunny skies are expected to return Saturday morning with the high reaching 19 C, close to average high on 20.4 C for Aug. 27. More rain is predicted for a cloudy Sunday but not until later in the day, and that shower activity is expected to continue with periods of rain on Monday.
Lows will range from 8 C early Saturday morning to 11 or 12 C the following five days – good news for gardeners hoping to see those flower blooms continuing. Not including Friday’s showers, we’ve had just 28.8 mm of rain in August. That’s equivalent to 1.3 inches.
